The petty jealousy entertained by the
rural press toward Cheyenne has found
I esh manifestation in recent of
the Laramie Boomerang upon the capitol
building. That the gentlemen in charge
of its construction have acquitted them
selves well and done the best possible 10 a
proposition Of which the results OF their
work will convince all fair minded men,
and which need not now be discussed. II
is a short sighted policy to mmenc an
attack upon a work whi1h the territory will
probably ask.congress to accept. Idaho has
set an example which should be followed
the expense of building her capitol having
been reimbursed by the general govern
ment, and when the people of Wyoming
shall be able to forget local preiudices and
unite for the common good of all, and
shall choose a representative devoted
solely to the common interest, it will not
be difficult to secure an appropriation of
part Of the troublesome surplus to COM
pensate the territory for all outlay made
in erecting a capitol As the building is
designed for the use of federal as well as
of territorial officers, such an a~ppropria
ton would be a simple matter of Justice

PREPARATIONS have been made to
carry into effect the Indian seyeralty law
passed by congress, upon three of the res
ervations of the North west Devil $

Prince, Of Boston, representing the In

Lamar. at the .%latter's request, for discus
sion of the best methods to be pursued.
The association also proposes to employ
agents of ITS own to see that the law is
properly carried out. If the experiment
proves a success, it will be followed up by
a general distribution Of land to individ.
ual Indians, a ours which will restore
the excess to the public domain, after lib.

WILLIAM b. WOODS. associate Justice
Of the Supreme Court of the United
States, died at Washington, yesterday.
aged 90 years. Justice Woods was a

In 1880. As a lawyer. he had not gained

ment, but came to hold eminent rank as
a %jurist. The vacancy o~ccasiuned by his
death will most likely be filed from the
South, Judge Woods having been the
sole representative OF that section on the
bench. 1t is mere surmise to speculate
upo the probable successor to the place;
the South has few lawyers Of recognized
lame throughout the republic, Tucker, of
Virginia. and Attorney General Garland
being the most prominent, but Cleveland
may follow the example set by Grant in
his selection of Chief Justice Waite, and
appoint some sound and solid jurist who
may scarcely be known beyond the limits
Of his state. There may be other vacan-
cies to fill before the end of the present
administration, as the chief Justice and
Justices Miller and Field are over 10 and
have served for ten years continuously on
the bench, which entities them to retire

desire, though none Of them is in the
Least inoapacitassd by in6rmity or age.

nifty in the figure and it is a very pleasing
work. Historically, the youth is neither
Roman nor Greek. A random guess would
make him out to be Anglo Saxon. But this
would not be correct. Mr.. Ward has gone
further and presented q study of a Welsh
youth OF the time of the Conquest. Garfield
always dwelt with onduess on his Cambrian
ancestry and took pride in it.
The figure Of the soldier, second in the
series, Is perhaps the best OF the trio. 1t
pictures a half savage warrior aroused from
rest by the sudden sound OF the approaching
enemy. The figure is that Of a stalwart man
In early prime, clad in skins laced down to
legs and body by inter crossing thongs. On
his head Is a rude helmet; beneath him a
shield. One leg Is crossed over the other
gracefully. Tn head Is raised high and the
attitude is that Of listening and planning n
method OF resistance. Here, also, Mr.. Ward
has made use Of Cambrian models of dress
and mold OF ~physiognomy. There is great
strength . in the soldier, and the manly beauty
OF the face Is something to command en-
thusiastic praise,

To think of Washington then and now.
There was almost no chance for an
artist or sculptor then. The city was
rs little like itself now as can
be imagined. Filthy streets, barren park
spaces, dingy public buildings, a half fin
nished Capitol, and no fit place for a satue
even II Michael Angelo had come fresh from
the Inferno to make one. About the only
statues to be seen were the bronze jefferson
in front of the White House, Clark Mills
equestrian Jackson in Lafayette square and
Greenough's Washington, which was then
squat OH the ground under n rough shed east
of the Capitol. Now, there are so many
statues and monuments In Washington that
it took a year TO find the site for Wards Gar
field, and the friends OF Gen. Logan and Gen.
Grant wonder where statues OF these generals
are to stand.
The statue Of Garfield Is unlike any other
In Washington, having three heroic bronze
figures on the pedestal, Intended as allegorical
representations Of the most important periods
in Garleld's life. Thus it Is not merely u
portrait as the statues OF other presidents, but
IN Its composite character tells the story of
American life-how the boy who was brought
up OH a farm enriched his mind with knowl-
edge, when war came fought well, and In ma
tura life gave counsel to the nation as a
statesman.
Those who have seen the bronze allegorical
figures on the Garfield statue look upon them
as the best features Of the work. The por-
trait OF the dead president Is excellent, and
the sculptor has put a great deal OF energy
into the pose. But the majority Of people
prefer allegories to portraits, and for this
reason far more study will be given to the
pedestal than to tho statue. First in sequence
and occupying the foreground of the statue
is the figure OF youth. 1t represents a young
man half nude, clad in a ~sheepskin, reclining

Much superfuous attention has been
given to the report that the English cred

an idea is too preposterous even for Re
publican use in a presidential campaign.

SUNDAY SCHOOL eRA.
A Monument Proposed to the America
Ennnlnr.

Founder.
Brooklyn, N. Y, Inodestly claims to be the
parent city OF Sunday schools in the United
States-that is, the first American com
munity to take kindly to the plan of Robert
Rnikes; and q movement is now afoot to
commemorate the fact by the erection of q
monument to Robert Snow, who established
the first Sunday school in Brooklyn, and may
therefore be considered the founder Of the
system in America. 1t is a fact that comes
with surprise to many people now, that the
Sunday school was not at first a favored in
s~titution among Christians. Indeed, many
entire congregations, and individuals in
other congregations, looked upon it as a
doubtful innovation; and when Father Snow.
as he was usually called, proposed to imaugu-
rate the English system OF Robert Rai!.es
here, he was peremptorily refused the use Of
one or two churches and not very warmly
welcomed in others. The record and the
memory OF the old people indicate that the
word school" had something to do with this
opposition; and as soon as people found what
1t really was they accepted it as an aid to the
church,

IA AND l46 ADAMS STREET,
Building In which first Sunday school in Brooklyn
was held.
Robert Snow, who organized the Sands
Street Methodist school, Brooklyn ,wns an Irish
American, as we now call our fellow citizens
whose blood is Irish and birth American; he
loved all children, ye. had none of his own.
The old Brooklynites describe him as a gen
tleman OF the old school, meaning that no
still wore the costume and maintained tho
manners of colonial times. He wore knee
breeches and shoes with buckles, and carried
a green umbrella equally on st. Swithins
day and in the longest midsummer drought.
So say the old B~rooklynites; but, be that as II
may, this fact remains to his honor, that he
organized the first Sunday school in Brook
Ign, and therefore the first in the United
States; and that his first sessions Of this
school were held in n building that is now IA
and l46 Adams street, Brooklyn, a building
still standing and in fair condition, as shown
by our engraving. There is no question
whatever as to the place in which the first
Sunday school was held; there Is, how
ever, some as 10 the date. One author
ity says March 9, another April 10,
1916 and as both agree as to the
year and very nearly as to the time, the dis
crepancy is easily accounted for by allowing
for the time required for a new system to
grow. Some of the associates Of Father
Snow still live in Brooklyn. Among them is
A. D. Matthews, who wrote a full account of
the early history of Brooklyn Sunday schools,
which was read before the Society of Old
Brooklynites early in April, and aroused such
an enthusiasm that n movement was at once
organized to erect II monument to Father
Snow.
The proposition took this shape: There are
in Brooklyn 81, 1000 Sunday school scholars; q
contribution amounting to ten cents from
each will pay for a monument. This plan
was presented to the finance committee OF the
